User:Carcharoth/Analysis of the page history of Wikipedia Magic pages

This page is an attempt to analyse the page history of various Wikipedia pages and talk pages associated with the topic of magic. When completed, the analysis will be moved to the appropriate location.

"I think the best thing to allay concerns about the edit history being difficult to find is to carefully analyse it all, write it down somewhere (a subpage at the oldest article), and then link from: (a) the talk pages of all the pages concerned; and (b) link from an edit summary in all the articles concerned."

The primary pages and their redirects and subpages are:

History of Magicians in fantasy

 * The article was created with this edit by Jc37. Jc37's edit summary was: "Information culled from page histories of magician; wizard (fantasy); magic (fantasy)". As this is splitting out and merging text, this is not a simple move and so the earlier edit history of the text needs to be found at those pages.
 * Another batch of text was merged into the article with this edit by Jc37. Jc37's edit summary was: "merged from Wizard (fantasy)". As with the above merge, the earlier edit history of the added text is located at Wizard (fantasy).
